Somewhere way back, SCHS posted about finding quite a discrepancy between the car's claimed average fuel consumption, and what he found by actual measurement. I found this a bit of a challenge, so started doing the same. Thus far, over just two tank fill-ups to the kick-off point, zeroing the trip meter each time, mine has averaged out at an actual 9.2 L/100Km, against the car computer's claim of 8.2 L/100Km.
Now while not spot on, I never expected it would be, but it's not too bad if it is only optimistic to the tune of 1 extra litre of fuel consumed over 100km..?
However, to be fair, I also do a lot of shortish trips and most of my distance covered is on roads with speed zones between 40kph and 80kph, with lots of roundabouts, and we only occasionally get off the island and onto freeway type roads of up to 110kph. So I wasn't expecting spectacular figures. Anyone else checked..? SCHS, any further progress figures..?
